a couple years ago when the economy was really fragile, one of the ways to stimulate the economy was to lower the payroll tax for employees. so it went from 6.2% of your earnings down to 4.2%. that was awesome. it helped you get a little bit more money in your paycheck right? unfortunately, sadly now we're back at 6.2%. it was not extended as part of the fiscal cliff negotiations. >> it's interesting the footlocker chief executive, ken hicks, said that this payroll tax increase actually takes money out of the pockets of consumers. and so how do you think in general, what are economists saying about how it may affect consumer spending? >> a lot of the economists i talk to all the time were up in arms about this because they think that this payroll tax cut was a great form of stimulus. and now the resumption of that 6.2% number means we're probably going shave about a half a percent off our growth rate this year. you think, oh a half a percent, not a big deal. we're only growing by 2% a year so it is a big deal. >> in the beginning when you said between $18 and $20 less a week, it does
